While re-reading my own email, I realized that I wasn't clear enough.
>From the DHCP, you would still need to "select" the specific
bootloader according to the firmware. What I meant was, not to select
a firmware-specific cfg file ( pxelinux.cfg/bios ; pxelinux.cfg/efi32
; pxelinux.cfg/efi64 ) from the DHCP, but to leave it as "usual"
(defaulting to pxelinux.cfg/default), as you probably used to.
So, when I said "_then_ you choose the firmware", what I actually
meant is "_then_ you select the respective cfg file". The
/pxelinux.cfg/default and the rest of the cfg files I suggested are
still relevant.
I hope I expressed myself more clearly this time.
